Undoubtedly, #Konark Sun Temple is the grandest testimony to art & heritage of #Odisha. Some pics I took over years.

The exponential increase in crowd, even at late or odd hours, has been a deterrent to pandal hopping for me. Happy to have visited at least one major pandal (except the ones I can visit on foot) - the 'Odia Asmita' themed one at Saheed Nagar. #Bhubaneswar #ShotOnOnePlus

The much awaited round up of Durga Puja at Cuttack, for those who are away and also those like me who are scared to venture out in the crowd. Happy Durga Puja. Happy Mahastami. 🙏 #Odisha
Durga Puja and Cuttack ❤️ A bond beyond words. Trying to capture the Royal Durga Puja in the city with amazing Gold & Silver filigree work. Hope you all will like the thread.

Bully people who are only trying to go about their daily chores. Argue that your Bandh is more important than someone's medical appointment. And then wonder why you are out of power for so long! That is Congress in general, and #Odisha Congress in particular for you. #Bandh
ଆଜି ଓଡ଼ିଶା ବନ୍ଦ, ଆପଣ ଘରକୁ ଯାଆନ୍ତୁ। କଂଗ୍ରେସ କର୍ମୀ ଓ ସାଧାରଣ ଲୋକ ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଯୁକ୍ତିତର୍କ। #OdishaBandh #Congress #Bandh #Bhubaneswar #OdishaNews#OTV

Terrible news to start the day. Rest in peace, Nana Patekar.
Veteran actor Nana Patekar passed away at 5:20 AM today after suffering a severe cardiac arrest at his residence. Despite 45 minutes of continuous CPR, he could not be revived. A medico-legal case (MLC) has been registered, and a post-mortem will be conducted: Dr. Shekhar Salkar, Chief of Oncology Department, Manipal Hospital

Happy to see a bit of #Odisha (Ambila) in the menu of the state lunch. But what the heck is a Gobhi Musslam? I mean, that's a real thing? 😳
Nothing mediocre at the PM’s superb lunch for the visiting Swiss President—I hugely enjoyed every bit of it, except the lauki which I carefully avoided. Standout dish: the masala chai ice cream. Total win.

This seems like a very lame version of #Odisha bandh. What happened to good old days when tyres used to participate & self-immolate in higher numbers? I guess count of Biriyani packets & liquor bottles are on the wane as well. Such an anti-thesis to the idea of Bandh & Kraanti!
#WATCH | Odisha | Naba Nirman Krushak Sangathan (NNKS) and Nabanirman Yuva Chhatra Sangathan (NYCS) stage a protest by blocking the national highway and torching tyres at Baramunda bus stand in Bhubaneswar. NNKS has called a 12-hour statewide Odisha bandh over textbook errors and demands the resignation of School and Mass Education Minister Nityananda Gond. #OdishaBandh

Half of X platform today is full of incredible Opus 5.5 generated videos such as this. The other half has videos that talk about how and when AI is going to annihilate humanity! #AI
I asked Opus 5.5 to make an animated short film entirely in code. The result is pretty damn incredible. Worth a watch.

Not even going into the fact if these guys / cockroaches had authority to audit schools or the quality of their audit. But how can they make videos of school kids in their classroom and post the same in public forums? Isn't this illegal? Did the parents consent to this? #Odisha
Is he holding any constitutional post ? Is he a leader of any opposition party ? Is he ask permission to enter a govt property ? Who gives the permission ? Can any other person allowed ? Are we not setting a wrong precedent ?

What cyclone? There may be rains tomorrow or day after, but they've closed schools today when it was sunny in the morning! #Odisha Govt closes schools at the drop of a hat - rain forecast, VIP visits, and so on. Why not let parents decide if their ward needs to stay home?
Odisha: All schools and Anganwadi centres in Khordha district will remain closed from September 22 to 24 amid forecasts of heavy rainfall and a potential cyclone. The closure covers pre-primary to Class XII. Teachers and staff must remain present, while schools have been instructed to maintain emergency preparedness. The September 22 BSE Odisha NRST exam will continue as scheduled.

I am not sure what got changed or rectified. But I guess that's beside the point. What is really bothering me is this: how come the 'after' pic is clicked 4 mins earlier than the 'before' picture? 😁 #Bhubaneswar PS: The post is deleted now, hence the screenshot.

I wonder if some of these iPhone enthusiasts actually go and brag in LinkedIn about being the 1st one to buy an iPhone 18 Pro Max from the Apple Store at BKC. 😬 Madness!

Haters like @sambitnk would never understand an austerity measure such as this. See, crores of people lou HPMSNMJ. But instead of making all of them travel, they are settling only for 21 CMs & their entourage. I bet you haven't seen another Govt that takes austerity so seriously!
21 CMs + their cavalcade flying to Varanasi with elaborate hotel & security arrangement to celebrate a birthday Celebs, athletes posting cringe videos(out of lou, of course). Ministers appealing citizens to celebrate Diwali How the man is not ashamed of all this is a case study
